AH the world's an inn, And all the men and women merely drinkers. Tluey have thif bottles and their glasses, And one man in his thne drinks many quarts, His drink being seven kinds: At first the infant, Taking tho cordial in its nurse's arms And then the whining schoolboy with his drop Or two of porter — just to make him creep More willingly to school. And then the lovei'j . Sighing like a furnace over his lemonado Brewed into whisky punch. Then the soldier, Full of strange oaths and reeling brandy-mad ; Brutal and beastly, sudden and quick in quarrel. Seeking the hideous fiend intemperance E'en in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, His fair round belly with Madeira lined, Most elegantly drunk — but not the less Full of wise saws against the use of gin; And so ho sips his wine. The sixth drink Shifts into the lean and bloated dramdrinker, . A spectacle his noso— his scorched inside; The wretch's ragged hose; — a world too wide For his shrunk shanks ; and his onco manly hand, Shaking the cup of tea well dosed with rum, Seems now fire-palsied bonps. Last drink of all, That end's intoxication's history. Is laudanum; self-murder's long oblivion. Sans faith, sans hope, sans life, sans everything. — Advt.
